SILENCE! I'll keel you

Yesterday Greg & I (along with a couple people from work) went to see Jeff Dunham in South Bend, IN. It was my birthday present and I couldn't have asked for a better one :)

It was, to say the absolute least, hilarious. All of his material was new and from his upcoming Christmas special. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. It's a toss up for what the best part was. There were 3 front runners that just bear repeating.
1) Jeff reciting "The Night Before Christmas" with Peanut. I can't really explain it, you just have to believe me and then watch the special on comedy central this November.
2) The encore. Jeff came out and said he had so many requests to bring out Bubba J. He did and even admitted that he hasn't used him in so long that he needed to use a cheat sheet for all the jokes. Quickly into the act he noticed that the audience was reciting it along with him and mentioned (by way of puppet) that it's sad when the audience can recite the skit better than he can. It seemed to be a first for him because he was definitely taken aback and found it hilarious. I, however, don't do it justice in writing; It was definitely one of those 'had to be there moments.'
3) Jeff told a story (sans puppets) about a women he met who had never hear of him or any of his acts. She said that she was a 1st grade substitute teacher and after going to see him she had a class and tried to get them to settle down. After a few failed attempts she finally yelled "silence!" and I guess some kid said back "I keel you." I would have absolutely died of laughter. A 6 year old! Hilarious.

Anyway, today was a rather odd day.

On my way to work I was listening to 102.3 as usual. One of the DJ's had a trivia question and wanted to know if anyone new the answer. The question was, what popular children's game is known in France as Roshambo. Well, I knew the answer (for some strange reason) and called up. I got right through and was on the radio!! I didn't win anything though, which I thought was mega lame.

But anyway, the odd part. I get to work a few minutes later and see my uncle walking through the door. I mention to him that I was on the radio and he asked me which station. I told him and he said that Jennifer (the DJ who asked the question) went to college with my Aunt Katie and was on the loop 100.3 (when it was still around) a few years ago. I had dog sat for her dogs (duh) my junior year of high school! I found that very strange that I didn't even know that.

People's voices are very different on the radio.

By the way, the answer was rock, paper, scissors. :)
